Liberty finished the defensive battle with 264 total offensive yards, including 203 via the passing game. Over 70 percent of Liberty’s total offense has come through the air this season, as Liberty has racked up 1,198 passing yards to 465 yards on the ground. Making Them Count Not only does Liberty rank No. 10 in the country in passing yardage (299.5 average per game), but the Flames are just as accurate. Liberty currently ranks No. 9 nationally in passing efficiency with a 152.89 pass efficiency ranking. Liberty is one of three FCS programs in the country to currently rank inside the Top 10 in both statistical categories, as the Flames are joined by Jacksonville and Morehead State. Ramping Up the Run Block Liberty held No. 3 James Madison to just 61 total rushing yards last Saturday in a defensive struggle that resulted in a combined 13 points scored and 547 combined total offensive yards. The 61 yards gained on the ground by the Dukes marked the third lowest rushing total by an opponent since head coach Danny Rocco took over the program in 2006. Don’t Move Those Chains For the third-straight game, Liberty held an opponent to three third-down conversions, as No. 3 James Madison finished last weekend’s contest 3-of-13 on third-down plays. Liberty currently ranks No. 8 nationally in third-down defensive efficiency, having allowed just 13 first downs on 49 third-down plays (26.53 percent). Getting to be Old Hat For the fourth time this season, Mike Brown finished a game with more than 200 passing yards, as the junior finished the James Madison game by completing 21-of-32 passing attempts for 203 yards. Brown is the sixth quarterback in program history to surpass the 200-yard mark in four-straight games and is the first since Brock Smith accomplished the feat two years ago by passing for 200 or more yards in six-straight games. One Shy of the Record Matt Bevins gave Liberty its lone points against No. 3 James Madison with a 19-yard field goal early in the second quarter, marking the 39th career field goal for Bevins. Bevins now ranks second in both program and Big South history. The junior needs one more field goal to tie the Big South record (Coastal Carolina’s Josh Hoke – 40) and four more to tie the program benchmark (Daniel Whitehead – 43). Career Day for Kyle Kyle O’Donnell is coming off a career day against No. 3 James Madison, as the linebacker led all defenders with a careerhigh 14 tackles. The total more than doubled O’Donnell’s previous career high, as he had recorded six tackles against Gardner-Webb last year and in each of the previous two games against Ball State and Robert Morris. The senior almost doubled his season total in one game, as O’Donnell came into the James Madison contest with 17 tackles after the first three games of the season.

Despite nearly two decades elapsing between her playing days and her induction, Bream is still the owner of three volleyball program records and two women’s basketball program marks.

She is also the only player in program history to rank inside the Top 5 of four different key volleyball statistical categories. On the basketball hardwood, Bream finished her career by averaging a doubledouble (11.3 points and 10.3 rebounds per game), and is one of only three studentathletes to accomplish the feat in program history. The two-time team captain is a member of the Lady Flames’ 500-500 club for career points (589) and rebounds (536). Bream excelled as an athlete away from Liberty Mountain and on the world scene, as she was an alternate for the U.S. Olympic handball team in 1992. The Mt. Holly Springs, Pa., native is the sister of Sid Bream, a member of Liberty’s inaugural Hall of Fame class in 2009.

Despite the long-standing success of Liberty’s track and field teams, Gibson still holds the program’s indoor and outdoor long jump records (19-1.25/20-0.25 feet). If she were still actively competing today, Gibson would be considered one of the best, as only one student-athlete in the 26-year history of the Big South Conference has eclipsed the 20-foot mark in the long jump. Lee Guetterman Baseball – 1978-81 Having only been in existence for two years and already having two former baseball student-athletes in the Liberty Athletics Hall of Fame speaks to the considerable success of the program. Lee Guetterman played a large part in that success. The left-handed pitcher set the tone from the mound early on for the Flames. During a highly successful four-year stint in a Liberty uniform, Guetterman set benchmarks that still stand three decades later. He is Liberty’s all-time career leader in games started (47), complete games (30), shutouts (7), wins (29) and innings pitched (334.2). Additionally, his 3.07 career ERA ranks second in school history, while his 220 strikeouts are sixth on Liberty’s all-time listings. Not just a dominating force on the mound, Guetterman certainly helped out his own cause at the plate. He posted a .325 career batting average, with 108 RBIs, 33 doubles, 12 triples, 11 home runs and 82 runs scored. The impressive statistics helped the Oceanside, Calif., native to earn NAIA AllAmerica first-team honors as a senior in 1981. After finishing his career with the Flames, Guetterman was drafted by the Seattle Mariners in the fourth round of the 1981 MLB Draft. An 11-year career saw him play for the Mariners, New York Yankees, New York Mets and St. Louis Cardinals. He was one of the more consistent relief pitchers of his time, as he made 425 professional mound appearances and 23 starts. Chip Smith Football – 1973-76 Baseball – 1973-76 Chip Smith quickly helped jumpstart Liberty’s athletics program as the department’s first-ever athletics standout when the football program first hit the gridiron in 1973. Smith was Liberty’s first scholarship football recipient and was the first Flame to cross the goal line during Liberty’s inaugural game against Massanutten Military on Sept. 27, 1973. Adding to his list of “firsts,” Smith was the program’s first-ever team captain, MVP, leading rusher, scoring leader and letterwinner, garnering those honors all four years he donned a Liberty uniform (1973-76). Because Liberty did not start playing a full varsity schedule until the 1976 season, several of Smith’s notable performances are not officially included in Liberty’s record book, as the NCAA does not recognize statistics against junior varsity and prep school opponents. Had all of Smith’s games officially counted, the standout would have amassed 15 100-yard rushing performances, 208 career points, 33 rushing touchdowns, 3,342 career rushing yards and averaged 101.3 rushing yards per game. All of these figures would rank in the Flames’ Top 5 in each statistical category. He still holds the program mark for the longest touchdown run (86 yards) and highest average rushing yards per carry in a game (19.8), with both records coming against Ferrum on Nov. 13, 1976, his final career outing. Besides his gridiron accomplishments, Smith also holds the distinction of being Liberty’s first team captain for the baseball program. He also led the program with a .454 batting average and was a four-year letterwinner (1973-76). Smith continues to flourish in the sport that made him a Liberty star. He is currently the owner and founder of Competitive Edge Sports (CES). The organization, based in Duluth, Ga., is widely recognized as one of the world’s elite sports performance training centers.

In 2009, Liberty ranked No. 12 in the country, averaging 14,931 fans per home game. Should Liberty continue this trend, the Flames could have its millionth fan pass through the turnstiles month when Liberty welcomes Savannah State to town on Oct. 2. The game will mark the grand re-opening of Williams Stadium, following a nine-month project to expand the stadium from a seating capacity of 12,000 to 19,200, with 18 luxury boxes and a state-of-the-art press box. Liberty will need just 14,777 fans to attend the game to pass the millionth-fan mark. Top 10 Performances A Liberty Flames football ticket has been a hot commodity in 2009, leading to some of the largest crowds in all of FCS nation last year. The attendance figures at all six of Liberty’s home games ranked inside the Top 10 for that specific weekend in terms of highest attended home FCS game. Liberty’s Big South matchup with VMI on Nov. 7, attracted 15,208 fans, was the ninth-highest attended home FCS game in the country. Back Against the Best The Flames’ 2008 schedule snapped a neardecade run against the nation’s top level of collegiate football, as Liberty had faced a FBS opponent in nine-straight seasons. Prior to 2008, the last time Liberty did not have a FBS opponent on its slate was in 1998. During the nine-year run, Liberty faced programs such as South Florida, Marshall, UCF, Akron, Toledo, Bowling Green, Kent State, Connecticut and Wake Forest. In 2009, Liberty opened the season at West Virginia, falling 34-20 to the BIG EAST powerhouse in Morgantown, W.Va. The Flames are slated to continue their run against FBS foes in years to come, as Liberty has N.C. State (2011), Wake Forest (2012) and Kent State (2013) currently on future schedules. Saturday Night Lights Under head coach Danny Rocco, the Flames are 16-4 in night games. Since 1976, Liberty has compiled a 57-66-3 record in night games. In Broad Daylight Under head coach Danny Rocco, the Flames are 19-10 in games played during the day. Since 1976, Liberty is 121-118-1 in day games. Natural Versus Artificial Surfaces Under head coach Danny Rocco, the Flames are 26-11 on artificial turf and 9-3 on natural grass. Overall, Liberty is 100-108-4 on natural grass and 86-79 on artificial turf. The Flames play their home games at Williams Stadium, which has an artificial surface, as new state-of-the-art FieldTurf was installed prior to the start of the 2006 season. Liberty has posted a 21-4 record at home since the new type of surface was installed. Overtime Update The Flames enter today’s game having posted a 3-5 record in overtime games. Liberty’s last overtime game came on Sept. 15, 2007, when the Flames dropped a 48-41 decision to William & Mary in double overtime in Williamsburg, Va. Liberty has only played two of its eight overtime games away from Williams Stadium. Liberty’s first extra-period game was a 34-28 road loss to Morgan State on Sept. 21, 1996. Liberty’s last victory in an overtime contest came on Nov. 22, 2003, when it closed out the 2003 campaign with a 49-42 home win over Hofstra. Back in the Big South Liberty is currently in the midst of its ninth season of competition in Big South Conference action, and is set to open league play against Charleston Southern at home on Oct. 9. Since beginning league play in 2002, Liberty has posted a 23-11 Big South record. Liberty series records against Big South schools since 2002 Charleston Southern 7-1 Coastal Carolina 4-3 Elon (game from 2002) 0-1 Gardner-Webb 4-4 Presbyterian (since 2009) 1-0 Stony Brook 1-1 VMI 6-1 Raising Up No. 71 Prior to the start of the Flames’ contest against Tusculum on Sept. 1, 2007, Liberty ceremonially honored founder Dr. Jerry Falwell, who had passed away the previous May, by starting a new game day tradition. Members of the University Police force raised a No. 71 flag underneath the Liberty Flames flag above the South end zone at Williams Stadium, just prior to the team taking the field, bringing the 14,925 fans in attendance to their feet. The new tradition has become a permanent part of the Flames’ pregame ceremonies at all home football games. Today’s Honoree: Former football players from the 1970’s Second was Twice as Nice On Sept. 11, Mike Brown scored from one yard out, giving Liberty a 27-23 lead with five minutes left against Ball State. Four minutes later, Asa Chapman sacked Cardinals quarterback Keith Wenning on a fourth-andtwo place, securing the program’s secondever win over a FBS program. Liberty’s first was a 25-24 victory over Eastern Michigan on Oct. 14, 1989, in Ypsilanti, Mich. Missed By Mere Hours Liberty nearly became the first program in Big South Conference history to upend a FBS program, when the Flames downed Ball State, 27-23, on Sept. 11. However, the Flames fellow conference member Gardner-Webb secured the honors just hours beforehand, when the Runnin’ Bulldogs scored a 38-37 overtime victory over Akron. Fantastic Four Liberty was one of four FCS programs to post a victory over a FBS team on Saturday, when the Flames completed a fantastic day for FCS football with a 27-23 victory over Ball State. Earlier in the day, No. 12 (FCS) James Madison shocked No. 13 (FBS) Virginia Tech with a 21-16 victory in Blacksburg, Va. Later in the day, Gardner-Webb beat Akron, 3837, in overtime and South Dakota downed Minnesota, 41-38. In total, six FCS programs have defeated FBS teams through the first two weeks of the season. FCS wins over FBS programs in 2010: 9/4 - Jacksonville State 49, Ole Miss 48 9/4 - North Dakota State 6, Kansas 3 9/11 - James Madison 21, Virginia Tech 16 9/11 - Gardner-Webb 38, Akron 37 9/11 - Liberty 27, Ball State 23 9/11 - South Dakota 41, Minnesota 38 Rocco Is Better Against the Best Liberty’s 27-23 victory over Ball State should not be a shock to those who have followed the progress of the team in recent years against FBS programs. Since head coach Danny Rocco took over the program five years ago, Liberty has dropped its first three games against FBS programs by a combined 34 points (Wake Forest/34-14, Toledo/35-34, West Virginia/33-20). Prior to Rocco’s arrival on Liberty Mountain, Liberty lost its last FBS contest by 59 points, in a 59-0 shutout against Connecticut on Sept. 10, 2005. Sensational “Sellouts” More than an inch of rain might have fallen on Sept. 26, at Williams Stadium, but the steady downpour never dampened the spirits of the crowd on Liberty Mountain. Against No. 6/7 James Madison, Liberty had 15,532 fans fill the stadium, marking the third-largest crowd in program and Big South history. Since head coach Danny Rocco arrived at Liberty, the Flames have filled Williams Stadium beyond capacity 19 out of 25 games. Liberty has posted a 21-4 record during those contests, averaging 13,340 fans per home game. Three Times as Nice Liberty became the second program in Big South Conference history to win threestraight Big South titles, when it captured a share of the conference crown in 2009. Last year, the Flames shared the crown with Stony Brook, while winning the title outright in 2007 and 2008 and posting a 14-1 conference record during the span. Coastal Carolina accomplished the same feat, winning outright conference titles in 2004 and 2006 and a shared championship in 2005 (with CSU). Best in the Big South For the fourth-straight season, Liberty is predicted to win the Big South Conference title. Liberty finished atop the Big South Preseason Poll, earning 103 points in the annual ranking that is selected by the league’s head coaches and a media panel. The Flames garnered 13 out of 15 first-place votes, while Stony Brook finished second in the listing with 81 points. Big Time Prize For the first time in league history, the winner of the Big South Conference will receive an automatic bid into the NCAA FCS Playoffs. In 2010, the NCAA FCS Playoffs will expand from 16 teams to 20 selections, creating an extra round of playoff games to be contested on of Nov. 27. Stony Brook is Staying On Sept. 1, the Big South Conference announced a contract extension with Stony Brook, keeping the associate member in the league for football for another four years. Stony Brook first joined the league in 2008 and its membership will extend through the 2015 season. In just two seasons, Stony Brook has posted an 9-3 Big South record (4-2 in 2008 and 5-1 in 2009) and claimed a share of the Big South title in 2009.

I think it is amazing what we are accomplishing with God’s help. The sky’s the limit for Liberty.” Before a packed house inside the Vines Center, Falwell unveiled plans to increase Williams Stadium seating to 19,200 by the opening of the 2010 season, plus plans to add 3,000 seats inside the Vines Center. Directly following the Flames final home against VMI on Nov. 7, Liberty began to renovate Williams Stadium, marking the first major expansion to the Flames home for football since the stadium was completed in 1989. The first of a three-phase plan calls for the addition of 6,600 seats added to the west side of the stadium, plus a 34,000-square foot press box. The brick and glass encased, Jeffersonian-style four-story tower will house club-level seating for qualified Flames Club donors, 18 permanent luxury suites, a banquet room which can hold up to 500 people, a 1,000-seat classroom and a state-of-theart press area. “The expansion of Williams Stadium will have a monumental effect on Liberty University and its football program,” stated Jeff Barber, Liberty’s Director of Athletics. “Above all else, this shows a great commitment from the University, and when you have a commitment, a lot of wonderful things can happen.” Phase One of the plan is part of a multiphase effort to boost the stadium’s seating from its current capacity of 12,000 to 30,000 over the next five years. Phases Two and Three will add a new 4,000-seat middeck for the east side of the stadium and 6,400 seats in a horseshoe-shape area surrounding the end zone in the south end of the stadium. When all three phases are complete, the stadium will have undergone an estimated $22 million in improvements. The renovated facility will also ready the stadium for the future construction of upper desks on the west and east sides of the stadium that will bring the capacity to 60,000. “You cannot ignore the importance of facilities in recruiting. Kids always look for nicer facilities and to be a part of a team where they feel the program is an important overall part of the University,” stated Liberty Head Football Coach Danny Rocco. “Above all, I think it just shows a great commitment from our University’s administration to get our program to a level of national prominence.” Falwell said the Williams Stadium expansion is keeping up with Liberty’s overall growth pattern. Fall enrollment for residential studies this year is expected to reach 11,900. Liberty had just over 5,000 on-campus students just 10 years ago. “This stadium project is a natural step for Liberty in its progression from a small Bible college to a major university,” added Falwell. “That was the goal from the beginning – to be for evangelical young people what Notre Dame is to the Catholics and what Brigham Young is to the Mormons. Athletics, and football in particular, was always a big part in that vision.” “Prospective student-athletes will see Liberty as a serious contender in NCAA Division I athletics,” continued Falwell. “We’ll be able to better recruit the top student-athletes in every sport. Improvements like this will help us convey the message that Liberty is achieving excellence in academics and in all of our facilities and programs. I think this will provide a major boost in both our athletics and academic recruiting. My father always said, ‘If it’s Christian, it ought to be better.’” Starts and Stars Liberty’s Game-By-Game Starters and 2009 Player Honorees 2010 Starters - Game-By-Game Comparsion Offensive Starters St. Francis, Pa.

The Flames aired the ball out and rolled off 52-unanswered points en route to 52-7 win, Saturday afternoon, at historic Lynchburg City Stadium. The contest was the first Liberty had played at Lynchburg City Stadium since Oct. 7, 1989, when the Flames upended No. 19 Eastern Illinois, 9-7. Liberty moved into Williams Stadium two weeks later and downed Towson State, 37-18, on Homecoming. Reminiscent of the days of old, when some of Liberty’s most prolific quarterbacks like Glenn Inverso (1977-80), Phil Basso (1981-84) and Paul Johnson (1986-89) used to roam the turf at City Stadium, Liberty used the passing game as its key to victory. The Flames threw for 452 yards and six touchdowns against the Red Flash on Saturday. The yardage figure was the second most ever by a Liberty team in program history and the most since the Flames threw for 407 yards at South Florida on Oct. 27, 2001. The beginning of the game belonged to the visitors, until one of several lengthy passing plays helped ignite the Flames’ prolific attack. St. Francis was the first team to dent the scoreboard, jumping out to a 7-0 lead five minutes into the contest. The Red Flash won the coin toss, but gave the ball to the Flames first. Liberty managed to get the ball to the 35 yard line, but the 23-yard drive stalled after seven plays. All-America kicker Matt Bevins was called upon to attempt a career-long field goal, 52 yards, which just missed to the right of the uprights. The visitors kept the ball on the ground for the first four times they had possession, with the fourth resulting in a touchdown. Kyle Harbridge carried the ball three of the four plays where he picked up a total of 59 yards. The last was a 38-yard scoring burst up the middle to put St. Francis up 7-0 with 9:55 left to play in the opening quarter. The score remained the same until the fifth play of the second quarter, when Bevins knocked down a 33-yard field goal with 12:35 left before halftime. Liberty was able to piece together a 12play, 55-yard drive that penetrated the Red Flash 10-yard line. However, Mike Brown was sacked for an 11-yard loss on a third-andtwo play from the seven-yard line, leaving the Flames to settle for the three-point play. A back-and-forth defensive battle was broken up with five minutes remaining in the first half. After picking up 10 yards on a quarterback scramble, Mike Brown found Pat Kelly open over the middle of the field and the sophomore wide receiver bested two defenders before finding an open field for a 75-yard touchdown reception with 5:05 left before halftime. The scoring sprint, tied for the fourthlongest scoring play during head coach Danny Rocco’s five years a Liberty, seemed to jumpstart Liberty’s offense. Trailing for the first time in the game, 107, St. Francis tried to take to the air to move the ball down the field. However, Danny Broggin was able to step in front of a John Kelly pass, giving Liberty the ball back at the Red Flash 39-yard line. Brown and B.J. Hayes teamed up on the ensuing quick scoring drive to push Liberty’s lead to 10 points. Following a seven-yard screen pass to the junior, Brown found Hayes open again and this time, the wide receiver was able to sprint down the field for a 49yard touchdown reception with 2:02 left to play in the second quarter. Liberty’s defense made a quick stand, forcing the visitors to punt the ball away after a three-and-out series. With just 42 ticks left on the opening half, Brown orchestrated the Flames fourth scoring drive of the game. Following a pair of short-yardage receptions to Chris Summers and a third to Kelly that dwindled away the clock, Brown was left with his own option, a deep heave to the end zone. The 40-yard pass easily made it to the end zone with Summers finding a way to reach over top of several would-be defenders for a last-minute score to give Liberty a 24-7 halftime lead. The Flames managed to post 195 more total offensive yards than St. Francis during the opening 30 minutes of play, as Liberty tallied 313 yards on 37 plays to the Red Flash’s 118 yards on 28 plays. More than 80 percent of Liberty’s offensive yards came via the passing game, as Brown completed 14-of-19 passes for 260 yards and three touchdowns. Liberty only managed to rush for 53 yards on 17 carries during the first half, led by SirChauncey Holloway’s five rushing attempts for 24 yards. Harbridge was the leading offensive player for St. Francis, as the running back carried the ball 15 times for 94 yards. Kelly completed 4-of-9 passes for 17 yards. Following a three-and-out series to open the third quarter, Liberty quickly widened its advantage, moving the ball 74 yards on eight plays for their fourth-straight scoring drive. The quarterbacking tandem of Brown and Tyler Brennan were a combined 4-for-4 on the drive for 50 yards, with the final 20 coming on a faded pass to Summers in the far corner of the end zone to give Liberty a 31-7 edge at 9:07 of the third quarter. Summers and Brown found each other again on Liberty’s next drive, with Brown lofting a 40-yard sideline pass to Brown before he was pushed out at the 12-yard line. On the next play, Holloway broke a few attempted tackles to bowl his way into the end zone for this eighth career rushing touchdown. The scoring run pushed Liberty’s lead to 31 points, 38-7, with 6:05 left in the third quarter and allowed the Flames to continue to control the pace of play the rest of the game. Spotlighting the final 21 minutes of action were three plays of note for the Flames. The first was a blocked 33-yard field goal attempt by Brent Vinson, who nearly was able to pick up the loose football and return it for a score. The second saw a pair of players pick up career firsts. Midway through the fourth quarter, Brennan found Kyle DeArmon open on the fair sideline and the former quarterback was able to break two tackles to score his first career touchdown on a 27-yard strike. Following the fifth of six three-and-out drives for St. Francis on the day, Brennan and DeArmon hooked up again, this time for the game’s final score on a 10-yard strike with just over four minutes to play in the contest. The Flames rolled up 599 total offensive yards in the game, the most under a Roccoled program. Quickie Statistics (Final) St. Francis, Pa. vs #20 Liberty (09-04-10 at Lynchburg, Va.)

The Flames used a late touchdown by Mike Brown and numerous key defensive stands to upend Ball State, 2723, inside Scheumann Stadium. A defensive shift for the Flames on the opening drive to a “4-3” scheme gave Liberty a quick edge and forced the home squad to punt the ball away following a three-and-out series. Liberty then took to the air on its first drive of the contest to take a quick 7-0 lead at the 8:59 mark of the first quarter. Eight of the plays on the 11-play, 79-yard scoring push were of the passing variety, spotlighted by two lengthy completions. The first was a 34-yard strike from Brown to Ervin Garner on a third-and-10 play and the second was a 21-yard scoring pass to Chris Summers after Brown avoided two would-be tacklers. Ball State tried to answer right back on the next drive and managed to penetrate the Flames’ 20-yard line on a 26-yard rush by MiQuale Lewis to the Liberty nine. However, Liberty’s defense once again was able to stop the Cardinals and the home squad was forced to settle for a 28-yard field goal by Ian McGarvey with 5:25 left in the opening period. Liberty responded and widened its lead on the ensuing drive, as the Flames started to keep the ball on the ground a bit more. Four different players carried the ball on the 10-play, 69-yard drive. The final player with a rushing attempt was SirChauncey Holloway. He used a block by offensive lineman Malcolm Boyd on the nearside of the field, allowing him to easily scamper in for a four-yard touchdown run with 11 seconds left in the opening quarter. The four-yard burst was the ninth of Holloway’s career in 10 career games, giving Liberty a 14-3 advantage after 15 minutes of play. The Cardinals appeared to trim the margin back to four points, when wide receiver Daniel Ifft scored on a 26-yard reverse play. But the scoring effort was called back after Ball State was whistled for an illegal block. Ball State managed to get the ball to 14yard line and elected to go for it on a fourthand-two play, but linebacker Kyle O’Donnell was able to get behind the line of scrimmage and halt Lewis for a four-yard loss to keep the score at 14-3. Both teams tried to tack on additional points during the final minutes of the second quarter, but both squads missed lengthy field goals that could have added three points to the scoreboard. Liberty’s miss, a 41-yard attempt by Matt Bevins, sailed just to the right of the goalpost, ending a seven-play, 27-yard Liberty drive with 57 seconds left before intermission. Ball State’s Keith Wenning was able to quickly move the Cardinals downfield, as the quarterback completed all four of his passing attempts for a total of 40 yards. Wenning’s success got the ball to the 26-yard line, but McGarvey missed his 44-yard attempt to the left to leave the halftime score at 14-3. Liberty took over possession of the ball to start the second half, but it only took three plays before Ball State got its hands on the ball. Following two short-yardage receptions by Summers, Brown’s attempt pass to Pat Kelly was picked off by Charlie Todd. Liberty’s first turnover of the 2010 season was returned 36 yards by the cornerback for a touchdown, trimming Liberty’s lead to four points, 14-10, 54 seconds into the third period. Liberty managed to get to the Ball State 33-yard line on the next drive. Following two incomplete pass attempts, the visitors were forced to settle for another field goal attempt. However, Bevins’ 50-yard attempt was blocked by Sean Baker and returned 10 yards. Four plays later, Ball State took its first lead of the day, when Wenning tossed up a ball to Aaron Mershman and the freshman was able to corral in the 15-yard reception and get one foot in the end zone, giving the Cardinals a 17-14 edge with 9:54 left in the third quarter. But the lead was short-lived for the home team, as Brown found Summers open for a career-long reception by the junior. Following two plays that resulted in a loss of two yards, Brown found Summers over the middle of the field and the wide receiver was able to outrun the defense. The 65-yard scoring reception gave Liberty a 21-17 lead with 8:47 left in the period. A 43-yard kickoff return and a personal foul by Liberty on the coverage gave Ball State prime field position on the next play. But a defensive stand by the Flames kept the Cardinals from finding the end zone, as Ball State had to settle for a 22-yard field goal by McGarvey to pull Ball State with one, 21-20. On the third play of the next drive, Brown threw his second interception of the day and of his career and the junior’s attempted pass was returned by Baker 31 yards to the 14-yard line. Ball State did manage to pick up a first down on a play that got to the two-yard line, but once again Liberty’s defense was able to keep the Cardinals out of the end zone. McGarvey was called upon for a 21-yard field goal on the first play of the fourth period, giving Ball State a 23-21 lead with 14:57 left in the game. Following a third interception by Brown and a three-and-out series by Ball State, Liberty took over possession of the football with just over nine minutes of play at its own 26-yard line. Brown completed three-straight pass attempts to get to midfield and then used his legs to move the ball the rest of the way. Three-straight rushing plays by the Big South Preseason Offensive Player of the Year set up the eventual game-winning run. Brown called his own number again on a second-and-goal play from the one yard line and the junior bowled his way into the end zone, taking Ball State linebacker Tony Martin along with him. Following a failed two-point attempt, Liberty held a 27-23 lead with 4:47 left to play. Ball State used the tandem of Wenning and Eric Williams to move the ball quickly downfield into Liberty territory to try and respond. However, the Flames’ battle-tested defense came up with one last defensive stand, as nose guard Asa Chapman was able to sack Wenning on a fourth-and-two play and Mike Connolly pounced on the loose ball to secure the victory with 38 seconds left in the game.

A 12-yard run by Myles Russ lifted the Colonials to a 30-23 victory over No. 15/14 Liberty, inside of Joe Walton Stadium. Liberty looked like it was going to force Robert Morris to punt the ball away following a three-and-out series, as the Flames flushed Jeff Sinclair out of the pocket and nearly sacked the sophomore quarterback. However, the hurler scrambled and found Myles Russ open over the middle of the field. The halfback made two or three moves with the last juke opening up the field for a 67-yard touchdown reception at the 12:54 mark of the first quarter. Liberty quickly answered back, scoring on a nine-play, 60-yard drive to knot the game at 7-7 with 8:39 left in the first quarter. On a third-and-12 play from the Colonials’ 24-yard line, Liberty’s offensive line gave Mike Brown enough time to find Chris Summers open in the corner of the end zone. The 24-yard strike was the fifth touchdown reception for the junior this year, who came into the weekend as the nation’s No. 1-ranked wide receiver, averaging 137.5 receiving yards per game. Following a pair of series where both teams were halted on short yardage fourthdown plays, Liberty took over possession around midfield late in the first quarter. The Flames managed to move the football inside the Colonials’ 20-yard line, but a 16-yard passing play to Pat Kelly was called back following a holding penalty. Liberty was able to get the ball into lengthy field goal range, but Matt Bevins’ 51-yard attempt missed just to the left to leave the score tied at 7-7. The failed attempt marked the third time this year Bevins has been called upon to try a 50-plus yard attempt, with all three tries narrowly missing the uprights. The score remained the same until the final two minutes of the opening half. Robert Morris was able to piece together its longest drive of the half, an eight-play, 75-yard scoring drive to reclaim the lead, 14-7, with 1:31 left before halftime. Sinclair dropped back on a first-and-10 play and got just enough protection to unload a 25-yard strike to Jamie Cobb before he was taken to the ground by a Liberty defender. Cobb was able to leap over two downfield defenders and pull in the 25-yard reception, giving the Colonials a seven-point lead with 91 seconds left in the first half. The remaining time was enough for Liberty to add points to the scoreboard when Bevins knocked down a 37-yard field goal with six seconds left before intermission. Brown was able to quickly move the Flames downfield and nearly connected with Summers for his second touchdown reception of the game. On a third-and-eight play from the 16-yard line, Brown dropped back and tried to thread the needle for a scoring strike to Summers, but Ryan Nearhoof batted the ball down at the goal line, forcing Liberty to settle for three points on the drive and a four-point deficit at the break. LU took to the ground to open the second half, getting back-to-back lengthy rushing plays by running backs Korrey Davis (13 yards) and SirChauncey Holloway (17 yards) to set up Bevins’ second field goal of the day. His 23-yard field goal at the 12:26 mark of the third quarter trimmed Robert Morris’ lead to 14-13, and finished off a nine-play, 54-yard second half opening scoring drive. After Robert Morris’ next series, Nick Schirtzinger’s 51-yard punt pinned Liberty at its own two-yard line. After two failed attempts to move the football, Mike Brown dropped back into the end zone for a sideline pass to the near side of the field on a third-and-10 play. However, Liberty was called for holding on the play, resulting in the first safety Liberty has allowed since the Presbyterian game, last season, and gave Robert Morris a 16-13 edge with 6:07 left in the third quarter. Following the free kick, the Colonials looked like they might extend their lead again, as a 37-yard pass play to T.J. Green drove Robert Morris deep into Liberty territory. But, Liberty’s defense came up with a stand and forced the home squad to punt the ball away. The defensive stand seemed to spur Liberty’s offense, as the Flames put together their best drive of the day to take their first lead of the afternoon. Brown dropped back to pass on back-toback plays, but was forced to tuck the ball and run to pick up short-yardage gains and set up a third-and-five play at the Colonials’ 36-yard line. On the next play, Brown got enough time to throw the ball down field and he found Ervin Garner open in single coverage. The sophomore was able to pull in the reception and beat his defender, scoring his first career touchdown on a 36-yard reception to give Liberty a 20-16 lead with 13:01 left in the final quarter. The advantage was short lived, as the Colonials quickly marched downfield and regained the lead. A 34-yard pass from Sinclair to Anthony Coleman got Robert Morris near the red zone and a personal foul penalty gave the Colonials the ball at the four-yard line. Following a failed pass play to Shadrae King on a slant route, Russ took a handoff and found room on the outside to score and give Robert Morris a three-point lead, 23-20, with 10:20 left in the game. The two teams traded unsuccessful drives during the next five minutes, leaving the Flames down three with just over five minutes left in the game. Two double-digit yard pass plays from Brown to Summers got the Flames inside the Robert Morris red zone, but the pair could not complete a third, forcing Liberty to settle for Bevins’ game-tying 29-yarder with 1:19 left on the game clock. Sinclair took to the air in an attempt to move his team into field goal range. He completed four-straight pass attempts for a combined 68 yards, including a 32-yard strike to Green to get to the LU’s 12-yard line. Trying to position the ball near the center of the field, Robert Morris elected to hand the ball to Russ one last time and the senior found a hole on the right side, scoring the eventual game winner from 12 yards out with 22 seconds left. Liberty managed to pick up one first down on the ensuing drive, but Brown’s “Hail Mary” pass downfield on the game’s final play was picked off by Michael Landers in the end zone to give Robert Morris its first-ever win over a ranked FCS opponent.

The victory keeps James Madison unbeaten on the season and ups the Dukes’ record to 3-0. The loss, Liberty’s second in row, drops the Flames’ record to 2-2 and closes out a three-game road swing. The game remained scoreless until the fourth play of the second quarter, but it was a play late in the first quarter that allowed Liberty to take the early 3-0 edge. Liberty’s second drive of the game stalled at its own 32-yard line, following a deep pass downfield from Mike Brown to Chris Summers along the sideline. However, punter Mike Larsson was interfered with on the attempted punt, giving Liberty 15 extra yards and a new set of downs. Brown completed his next four pass attempts to drive Liberty down to the goal line, but his floating pass to tight end Tommy Shaver in the endzone was just out of the reach of the tight end, forcing Liberty to settle for three points. Matt Bevins’ 19-yard field goal at the 13:28 mark of the second completed an 18-play, 95-yard drive that ate up 9:40 on the game clock and staked Liberty to the early lead. The score remained the same until the waning minutes of the first half. For the second time in the half, Liberty crossed midfield, getting to the Dukes’ 31-yard line, which prompted head coach Danny Rocco to elect to go for it on fourth and a short one. But for the third time this year, Liberty was shut down on a fourth-down play, as Brown was not able to get the nose of the football beyond the yardage marker. Two plays later, James Madison quarterback Drew Dudzik showed his athleticism, as the redshirt senior got outside the pocket and scampered 39 yards downfield to Liberty 25-yard line. On the next play, the quarterback dropped back and found a wide-open Griff Yancey for a score, giving James Madison the 7-3 edge with 53 seconds left in the period. Following the quick scoring drive at the end of the half, James Madison headed into the locker room at the intermission with a 164-149 total offensive yardage edge. Liberty picked up most of its yardage via the passing game (102 yards), while James Madison rushed for the same amount of yards (102) on 16 carries. Following a three-and-out series to open the second half for James Madison, Liberty managed to once again drive to James Madison’s 30-yard line. However, a 47-yard field goal attempt by Bevins was blocked at the line of scrimmage, keeping the score the same on Bevin’s fifth 40-plus yard attempt of the year. The blocked field goal by the Dukes eventually led to three additional points for the home squad. James Madison elected to keep the ball on the ground for eight of the next drive’s nine plays. On a third-and-two play from Liberty’s four-yard line, Danny Broggin and Terry Adams were able to get behind the line of scrimmage and stop Scott Nobles for a oneyard loss, leaving James Madison to settle for a 22-yard field goal by Dixon Wright with 6:23 left in the third quarter. The remainder of the game belonged to the defensive players, as the two squad’s offensive players managed to pick up just seven additional first downs during the last 21 minutes of the contest. Liberty managed to cross the 50-yard line on two of its last four drives of the evening. The last time the Flames touched the football, Liberty found itself needing to piece together a 79-yard touchdown drive with just over three and half minutes left to play. Brown found Shaver open on a 16-yard strike over the middle of the field on the first play, but three plays later, the quarterback was flushed from the pocket, forcing a deep pass downfield. But the pass was picked off, as Taveion Coffee was able to step in front of the effort and pull it in just before he fell out of bounds. James Madison kept the ball on the ground for the next three plays, including a game-sealing three-yard effort by Nobles, who got to the outside and was able to stretch the football out just enough to get first down and allow the home squad to run the rest of the game clock out. The second 30 minutes of the game was even more of a defensive effort, as James Madison finished the last two quarters with 119 total offensive yards to Liberty’s 115. Liberty’s game-ending 264 total offensive yards marks the eighth time Liberty has failed to cross the 300-yard threshold in the five years under Rocco. It is also the secondstraight game Liberty has failed to finish a game against James Madison with more than 300 total offensive yards after finished last year’s rain-soaked contest with 217 total offensive yards. The game also marked the second time that Liberty has finished a game in the last five years without a touchdown. The last was a 10-3 loss at Towson on Sept. 16, 2006. Brown finished as Liberty’s No. 1 rusher for the third week in a row. The quarterback rushed for 26 yards on 11 carries. Korrey Davis led the team in rushing attempts, finishing the game with 13 carries for 25 of Liberty’s 61 team rushing yards. Nobles was James Madison’s No. 1 rusher with 17 carries for 89 yards. Brown finished the game by completing 21-of-32 for 203 yards, while his counterpart, Dudzik, was 6-of-14 for 78 yards and the eventual game-winning touchdown late in the second quarter. Summers was Liberty’s top receiver, finishing the game with eight catches for 66 yards, while Yancey caught two passes for 56 yards and the game’s lone touchdown. Kyle O’Donnell had a career night and led all tacklers with 14 stops, including 10 assisted tackles, 1.5 tackles for loss and a forced fumble. Doncel Bolt followed with nine stops, including six solo tackles, followed by Chad Brown’s eight-tackle effort. Following three road games in a row, Liberty will return to Williams Stadium next weekend for the grand re-opening of its oncampus facility. During the last nine months, the stadium has undergone an extensive renovation, expanding the stadium seating capacity from 12,000 to 19,200 and adding a five-story press and suite tower.
